Dress Taylor — strappy dress with tiered ruffles

Short loose dress pattern with thin straps and a skirt of three tiered ruffles, for beach and summer basics lines.

Short, loose dress that does not mark the waist, with thin adjustable straps and a gathered round neckline. The skirt is built in three tiered ruffles that give it sweep and movement.

For the light, slightly crumpled texture the fabric shows, a cool woven such as linen, viscose or batiste follows the volume of the ruffles without weighing. It sells well in beach and summer basics lines and pairs with flat sandals. Cut each ruffle separately and gather it before joining it to the body.

It comes in 8 sizes (XS to 4XL) with the industrial grading already done: pick the sizes you need on the product page, or buy the full size range in one go. Delivered as an A4 PDF to print at home and a true-scale plotter PDF (90, 120 or 150 cm wide); DXF/AAMA, Optitex (PDS), marker (MRK) or Audaces (ADS) files for cutting directly in CAD are available on request. Digital download within 24 hours of payment confirmation.

Professional sewing pattern for women, approved with a sewn sample, with the full industrial size range available. Sizes are chosen on the product page (the base price covers the standard size selection and each extra size adds a small surcharge); the CAD formats include the full size range.
